Time to be afraid guys...

You are damn right ! But... man we have been disapointed so many times.

You guys give us some hope when you say it's an arcade thing. By the way, Virtua Fighter : Battle Genesis or VFBG sounds pretty hype !

Also, let's not forget what SEGA said about a possible sequel to Sonic All-Star Racing



Team Sonic Racing announced in May 2018.

What I feel is that releasing it as a 'VF:Battle Genesis' (VFBG soft reboot) would be more beneficial to the franchise rather than releasing it as a new numbered title like 'VF6' since VF always has a connotation of being a hard and technical fighter, not to mention the lack of flashy super moves when compared to other 3D fighters. I believe that the new VF will be more flashy and beginner friendly but without leaving behind the brilliant core mechanics that VF always had. The word 'Genesis' here could also be a play on words, may be to include classic SEGA characters from the 'Sega Genesis''??

Or maybe it is a 2D VF spin off

We’ll find out in 2-4 months I suppose.

- No Vampires
- No Werewolves
- No Supers
- No Rage Drives
- No Rage Arts
- No chimeras
- No Beavers
- No Dragons
- Absolutely No Projectiles
- No critical Stuns
- No critical bursts and flipping opponents in the air like pieces of dry bread.

I just want pure undiluted fighting excellence. The only game that have delivered that to me is VF.

Give me Virtua Fighter 6 on current gen and I'm happy.

VF6 right now SEGA ! We are done waiting !

VF could leave out all of these while still being flashy, cool and more interesting to look at. There were good reasons why the last numbered title was released twelve years ago. Some things got to change to ensure the success and continuation of this franchise. Otherwise, it would be pointless for SEGA to bring VF back just to please the hardcore fans only, the new game should be able to attract newcomers too. For a start, it should have a decent story mode this time around with some story cutscenes. I agree that the retelling of the plot from VF1 and VF2 would be a good way to reboot the franchise and bring it back out from slumber. Either way I just wanted VF6, VFBG or whatever they end up calling it to come out and be a success, and not only be a footnote among other 3D fighters out there.

I think this might really be it.
Again, from the SEGA Europe twitter it is probable that it was miscommunicated, but what I think the tweet really meant to answer are the neverending "I want Virtua Fighter" comments, as to tell them they have nothing to announce or show yet.

So this shouldn't actually mean there is nothing in the making.

It could very well be for a new VF game but then it could just be for a trading card game. I don't know I don't want to get my hopes up too much at this point. Battle Genesis to me sounds like a cross over fighting game something like Smash perhaps?

If it isn't a new Virtua Fighter, I won't spend a penny on it.

After thinking about it for a bit, I think it's a possibility that they could have just renewed the trademark just to have akira, jacky, sarah as guest characters in DOA6. Also the whole smash assist thing could have some influence. I would bet that Battle Genesis is something entirely unrelated to VF...

I really hope they reappear in DOA6, I would be so stoked.
If that were the case, shouldn't they have other VF characters in it? I'm guessing it be because those 4 fighters are the most popular? Akira being the poster boy and Jacky and Sarah I think being the true main characters and Pai I guess just being popular?

I prefer gtfo DOA and give me VF6.

Yeah I've seen this answer.. But What a little community manager from SEGA europe (the shittiest spot historically by the way..) could really know inside Japan studio AM 2 projects ?
Nothing.

MoCap for a card game really ??? ...nah.
